Escape From Me

I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll
I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds
I'm longing to be lost in you, away from this place I’ve made
Roaming in a land where darkness and death simply cannot invade

Crawling through my world as disease flows through my veins,
I look into myself, but my very own heart has been changed
I can't go on like this; I loathe all I've become
It’s like I’m without feeling, wandering and numb

Lost in a dying world, I reach for something more
A place where lovers can freely dream, with pains no longer sore
I have grown so weary of this lie I live, this fakeness that corrupts
I long to escape from me; release my bonds and set me free
